Hi, 10x for the response...
My AWE32 situation is a strange thing... sndconfig work... kudzu (i write correctly?) have recognized correctly at the first boot... in hwbrauser i read AWE32 (not for joy port: it's under 'unrecognized device', but this is secondary...), the kde mixer work (volume, bass, balance, gain...), audio cd play, mp3 play, ENCODIN work! bah... it appear to work, right? but if I use the 'Sound Card Detection' (sorry, i don't remind now the right name) on X menu (KDE or GNOME, it's the same) it tell me 'No sound card detected'...
I've tryed to run 'Tuxracer' (u know?) and the audio is missing...
when i can, i try other application 'out the X' like Quake3.
Bah...
The modem news: using wvdial and wvdial.conf file, the modem is correctly recognized (WHY KDE OR GNOME NOT?!?!?!)... initialising string... modem initialized... dial... 64000 connection... carrier detected... waiting for carrier... NO CARRIER... retry... retry... etc
What is CARRIER?
10x at all!
